Conor McGregor suddenly dropped his retirement post on June 6, 2020. This was not the first time when the Irishman had pulled such a stunt. Many believed strongly that he will make yet another comeback in the coming time. The intuition that these UFC-heads had is seemingly coming to the fruition.

There were news making rounds that Conor can make a comeback in a higher weight division. He dropped a selfie post on Instagram just two days ago on 6th July. It clearly showcased his perfectly chiseled body. Additionally, his coach John Kavanagh made a comment saying, “skip 170 straight to 185?”

Conor McGregor is training vigorously on a punching bag

In a recent Ariel Helwani interview, Jorge Masvidal accepted that fighters do not wear themselves out for no reason. He explained how training to stay fit and preparing to get into the Octagon are two different things.

Now, this video of McGregor has again opened the way to speculations. The ‘pure horsepower’ signals towards something big with those power jabs. Even in his retirement post, The Notorious said that the game no more ‘excites’ him. So is it that the weight category no more excites him? Is it that he wants to now enter a whole new category to try his luck? Or is it that we can finally view a mouthwatering Conor McGregor vs Khabib Nurmagomedov 2?

There are many UFC fighters who believe he will make a comeback. The answers await but the ‘Big Poppa Pump Action’ is going wilder with days passing.

He can create history by winning a belt in yet another category

The world saw Conor winning both the Featherweight Championship belt as well as the Lightweight Belt. That was super tough and historic in all regards. He went on to face the legendary boxer Floyd Mayweather and convincingly survived 10 rounds. For a complete MMA material to fight with legs locked is not easy, but this man can take on a train.
